Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed November 23, 1904. Serial No. 234,064.

'[0 all wit/mt it ntcly/ concern: v

Be it known that I, GUsTJoRGnNsi-1N, a citizen of the United States, residing' at lV est Seattle, in the county of King and State of W'ashington, have invented certain new and useful Improvement-s in Slate-Pencil and Lead-Pencil Holders, of which the following' is a specification, reference being had therein tothe accompanying' drawing's.

The invention consists in the peculiar construction of a slate-pencil and lead -pencil holder, com prising aslate-frame with attached pencil-holder consisting of a g'roove t in the edge of the frame, the cover (t turning around one end and the pencil-holder being fastened at one end to the slate-frame, the end which is so fastened being composed of av spring'y piece of metal so bent as to raise the pencil c and the holder 7; and the cover L up from the groove t when they are released from the spring or boltf, which holds the holder closed when desired.

The construction is designed to make aslatcpencil and lead-pencil holder that can be attached to the end of the frame of a slate, in which the pencil can be carried and in which the pencil can be out of sight and the point of the pencil not be destroyed nor the pencil broken when carrying' it and by means of which the pencil can always be with the slate when it is not in use and when it is being carried.

The invention further consists in the peculiar construction, arrangement, and combination of the various parts, as more fully hereinafter described.

In the drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of my improved slate and lead pencil holder, showing it closed, the pencil thereby being' concealed. Fig. Q. is a side view showing' the pencil-holder open and in the position that it is when the pencil is ready to be removed or when it has just been replaced after having been used and being' ready to close. Fig. 3 is a view of a section of the slate, showing' the edge of the said section and also showing the end of the pencil-holder that is fastened to the slate-frame.

a. is the outermost part of the pencil-holder, constructed of suitable metal, shown in Fig. l closed and in Fig. 2 open. It serves asa covering' for the pencil and keeps it in place when the holder is closed.

isa tube or socket into which one end of the pencil is placed when not in use, one end of this tube or socket being fastened to the slate-frame, the end which is fastened to the slate-frame being made of a springy piece of metal and curved upward, so that when the covering' a is released from the spring or bolt 7" it will throw the covering' n, the holder b,

and the pencil c up, so that the pencil can be removed for use.

c is the pencil, which is shown in Fig. Q. in the position ready to be removed for use.

e is the slot or groove in the edge of the slate-frame, into which the pencil and the tube or socket b fit when the pencil-holder is closed.

f is a spring' or bolt by which the pencilholder is held closed when desired or is pressed back, so as to release the cover a and to allow the spring in to throw the pencil up in position for use.

rv is the side of the slate-frame, composed of wood or other suitable material.

z/ is the slate.

The parts being thus constructed their operation is as follows: In the closed position of the pencil-holder the point of u lits into the spring f, being placed there by means of pressure on 1y and on the spring-boltf. and

when the holder is to be opened the springf is pressed backward slightly, so as to relieve the cover a, when the spring at the base of the tube or socket quickly throws the cover (t open and the tube and pencil up into a position ready for the pencil to be removed for use.

lVhat I claim as my invention is l. In a pencil-holder the combination with a slate-frame provided with a groove in one side thereof, a cover for said groove hinged at one end and a pencil-containing' tube flexibly connected to the frame and a spring-button for holding the cover in closed position.

2. In a pencil-holder, the combination with the slate-frame provided with a groove in one side thereof, a cover for said groove pivoted to the frame, a pencil-containing tube formed with a flat elastic portion secu red to the frame, and a spring-button mounted on the frame and adapted to engage the cover to hold said cover in closed position.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in thc presence of two subscribing witnesses.
